Jordy van Langen
I am a recent graduate from the research master ‘Behavioural Science’ at Radboud University Nijmegen. I performed my masters internship at the Systems Neurology group in the Donders Institute in Nijmegen (NL). In my master thesis research, I studied variations in cognitive load and anxiety in Parkinon’s tremor. Currently, I work as a research assisstant at the Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney, in Australia.
